Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Trapped by a Scheme

Li Hanyi watched Lin Chen while speaking. At the same time, he extended his hand in front of Lin Chen and continually rubbed two fingers together, signaling to Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen felt his whole body go numb. At that moment, he wished he could immediately snatch back the elixir he had given to the Sky Howling Demon Wolf and then stew it.

"Uncle-Master, you must not listen to that demon wolf’s bewitching lies. There is truly nothing between Miss Deng and me; those words were just drunken nonsense and should not be taken seriously."

Lin Chen looked at Li Hanyi and spoke earnestly.

He had thought in the past that this old man was dignified, with an air of integrity and high morals. But it was only today that he truly saw the old man’s cunning side.

"Drunken nonsense? I think it’s more likely drunken truth," said Li Hanyi with an evil smile while looking at Lin Chen.

"Say whatever you want; my conscience is clear and I fear no skewing shadows."

Lin Chen held his head high, and although he was endlessly cursing the Sky Howling Demon Wolf in his heart, he was not intimidated by Li Hanyi’s threats.

"Is that so? You said it yourself, so don’t blame me for not giving you a chance to shut me up. It’s your own fault for not seizing it."

"I’m going back to Cloud Sky City right now."

With a shake of his head and a laugh, Li Hanyi turned to leave.

"Uncle-Master, wait a moment, I will give it to you," Lin Chen said, realizing Li Hanyi intended to return to Cloud Sky City without another word, which distressed him terribly.

If this matter reached Xu Lianyu’s ears, the trouble would be immense.

Although Lin Chen truly had not done anything, would Xu Lianyu, Wang Yilin, and others listen to his explanation? He feared that they would not and would make life very difficult for Lin Chen.

Right now, it might be better to resolve the matter by giving up some resources.

"Has the nephew changed his mind?"

Li Hanyi looked at Lin Chen with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen said nothing more and directly took out a piece of armor that he had just finished refining and threw it to Li Hanyi.

This armor, forged from the shell of a Demon Scorpion, was extremely tough. Even an attack from a Nirvana Realm Third Level expert could be easily withstood.

Li Hanyi looked at the defensive magical treasure offered by Lin Chen, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily. He touched the armor, his face filled with joy.

In these recent days, Xu Ma’an and Li Hanyi often joined the Giant Race in hunting expeditions, battling many magical beasts of this world, and their cultivation levels were constantly breaking through. Li Hanyi’s cultivation had now reached the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Their rate of improvement in this one month far exceeded that of half a year’s time in Cloud Sky City, which greatly pleased them.

However, the magical beasts they had battled before were all of low level.

Now, with the armor provided by Lin Chen, he gained some ability to protect himself.

Before obtaining this piece of armor, Li Hanyi and Xu Ma’an had always wanted to venture out for training, challenging more powerful magical beasts. For it was through combat that they could gain experience, recognize their own shortcomings, and achieve breakthroughs.

But, Lin Chen was firmly against the idea.

After all, in the Eastern Domain of the Mysterious Heaven World, their cultivation levels could still be considered somewhat powerful, but here, it was very low.

If not for their martial arts skills giving them a decent combat capability, they wouldn’t even have a foothold here.

"One is not enough, bring another one."

Li Hanyi once again demanded another defensive magical treasure from Lin Chen.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s eyebrows creased slightly, but he didn’t dare to argue with Li Hanyi and took out another defensive magical treasure.

He had forged nearly a hundred pieces of scorpion shell armor for the Giant Race and a dozen for the Human Race, so offering two was not a big deal; he still had stock.

After receiving the defensive magical treasures, Li Hanyi nodded in satisfaction and left.

What Lin Chen did not know was that this time he had been tricked by Xu Ma’an.

Actually, Li Hanyi’s visit to Lin Chen demanding magical treasures was Xu Ma’an’s idea.

Otherwise, with Li Hanyi’s character, he would never come up with such an idea.

Soon, Li Hanyi arrived at the entrance of Greyflame Tribe with two magical treasures in hand.

From a hidden spot, Xu Ma’an walked out from behind a large tree.

"Junior brother, how did it go? Did the kid give you anything good?"

Xu Ma’an looked at Li Hanyi with an expectant eye.

"Of course, he seems to really hate trouble and was very generous in giving me two quite nice defensive magical treasures."

Li Hanyi said as he immediately took out the two magical treasures, handing one of them to Xu Ma’an.

With one for each of them, they quickly divided the treasures.

However, they knew that Lin Chen would surely find a way to retaliate against them, and the thought of possibly being trapped by Lin Chen in the future sent chills down their spine.

Nevertheless, the magical treasures in their hands made them feel that even if they were retaliated against in the future, it would be worth it.

Right now, within the Fantasy Forest of the East Continent, a man in white was vigorously battling two ferocious tigers.

This man was Gong Siyuan, who had a grudge against Lin Chen.

Although his cultivation had increased from two months ago when he entered the Divine Flame Secret Realm, facing two powerful tigers, he still struggled to cope.

After fighting fiercely for three days and three nights, Gong Siyuan’s spiritual power was nearly depleted.

Fortunately, with the magical treasures on him, he was able to contend against the two tigers and ultimately survive.

Looking at the fallen tigers, Gong Siyuan sat down, breathing heavily.

He thought to himself sarcastically, a Heavenly Pride like him ending up in such a pathetic state within the Secret Realm.

Were it not for obtaining many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures within the Secret Realm, improving his cultivation, he might have already died under the claws of the tigers.

Just as Gong Siyuan defeated the two tigers and sat down to rest, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching closer.

He hastily concealed his presence.

Not long after, a young man dressed in green appeared in his line of sight, and upon seeing this, Gong Siyuan’s expression instantly tensed up.
